Bracelets can be a fun way to infuse some style into an outfit. They are universally flattering, ageless and very often, able to be carried over from season to season. Bracelets are a great way to set the vibe for your look and to accessorize without spending a fortune. Here are some tips for the types of bracelets that go best with each sleeve length.

Sleeveless tops, sheaths and T-shirts – This is your chance to break out of your shell and go for statement bracelets that are painted, embellished or sparkly. You can find beautiful resin and crystal bracelets this season, or thick cuffs that will look great when worn on either arm.

Blouses, 3/4 length sweaters and rolled boyfriend blazers – This is the perfect opportunity to wear fun bracelets, as the attention will be on your wrists. Choose several bangle bracelets with a shiny finish, or go for colored enamel, chunky charm or coin-looking bracelets that will help to complete your look. This is another sleeve length where you can get away with stacking bracelets on either arm, so have fun with it!  

Long sleeve sweaters, cardigans and coats – Classic metal bracelets in gold tone or sterling silver work well with long sleeves. You want to still look like you are making an effort, but you don’t want the look to feel forced. Stay away from chunky cuff bracelets that might get lost under your sweater, and instead, opt for flexible metal pieces that flow.

Any bracelets that you buy for fall or winter can easily be converted to spring fashion. Gold and jewel tone colors like teal were big on the runways for the Spring 2010 shows, as were large bracelets and cuffs, especially those with a Mediterranean influence. The only thing that might be good to stay away from are bracelets that you are uncertain about. If you’re only going to wear it one time, then it’s probably not a good investment.

Wondering how to make a statement this fall with accessories? Instead of turning to statement necklaces, consider chunky bracelets instead. These styles will hold their own against the heavier fabrics that are needed to keep you warm. Here are some of top tips for choosing the right bracelets to compliment your cool weather look:

Keep it simple – Chunky bracelets don’t necessarily need to be embellished and heavily adorned. In fact, some of the hottest styles are those where simplicity reigns supreme. For example, try bracelets with classic shapes and supersized features. A yellow gold bangle in chunky chain link or shiny metal adds just the right amount of flair to an outfit.

Add some color – Colored enamel bracelets are flying off the racks this year. With yummy colors to brighten up your gear, you can wear these bracelets to work or for play. Look for pieces that use one solid color like cobalt blue or turquoise, or ones that have geometric blocks of color. Wear with contrasting fabrics like orange or red for a unique style statement.

It’s all in the details – Cuff bracelets don’t have to be over the top to make maximum impact. Maybe there is some great finish or a special handcrafted detail that makes it special. Try bracelets that are made from hammered metal, have a muted finish or are engraved with a fun design. These pieces are versatile enough to go with many pieces in your closet, so you can be sure you’ll get your wear out of them.

Stretch it out – If you’re looking for bracelets that will fit any size wrist, consider stretchy bracelets. These are comfortable and easy to wear. Best of all, they’re completely affordable. If you’re going for mega sized beads, stones or pearls, stretch bracelets are a great style solution.
